| Dave and Julia on Fragrance Lake hike. |
The trail up is about two very steep miles, so I made a lot of rest stops on the excuse of having to take pictures. The growth in this Northwest forest is incredibly lush.

Even the lake looks green. The "fragrance" comes from skunk cabbage, which isn't exactly a pleasant fragrance.

To make this quilt related, here's a collaged quilt I made in 2006 called "Forest" that has the colors of our hike. I made the quilt when I lived in Illinois and our house backed up to a forest.

So Green! So beautimus! Something about that picture of Dave and Julia just gets me in the heart - Dave enjoying his daughter's company. Can't explain it. It just moves me.
Beautiful greens! And wonderful pix, not to mention your quilt! Happy Earth Day... not quite as green here, but Spring is definitely here, and the temps are inching up...
fantastic greens, I don't have many in my stash, but yours really sparkle. Have never been to that area, so much to see!
lovely quilt speaks of you hike and all the refreshing greens! i like the roots shot, what texture. Happy earth day !
Thanks so much for the nice comment on my blog. Your Earth Day hike looks amazing. I've been to your area of the country ... awesome! You've really captured the beauty that is forever in my mind when thinking of the lush vegetation and the enormous tall trees! Thanks again!
